Permanent residence in a metropolis tires the average resident - you want to go out of town to relax away from noise and dust. To do this, you need to acquire a garden house. When it appears, you will have the opportunity for a comfortable stay in the bosom of nature. However, many abandon their dreams, fearing that the implementation of such an idea will require a lot of money. This is not the case - even with a small budget, you can build a good house. The nuances of its construction will be discussed in this article.
A person who decided to build an inexpensive garden house on his site wonders what material to build it from. The market today offers big choice raw materials. You need to focus on your financial capabilities and characteristics of materials.
Usually, dwellings outside the city are built of bricks, foam blocks or aerated concrete. From the latest stuff the construction of the house will take place at an accelerated pace... However, the most popular for the construction of structures in the country is a timber.
A bar with a section of 100 × 100 mm is usually used. In order for the structure to be reliable, it is necessary to dry the material in advance. In this case, the shrinkage of the dacha dwelling will be minimal, and there will be no deformations.
As for the tools, you will need:
If your main goal is an inexpensive building, you can build a small house. Today the choice of options is quite large and frame structures is not limited. On your site, you can build:
If you are planning to build a summer house with your own hands, drawings and estimates are the first thing you need to acquire. It is necessary to decide on following parameters:
If before starting construction you will have a detailed project at your disposal, including a competent drawing of the structure, thereby you will save time and money.
First of all, it is necessary to draw a plan-diagram of the base of the house, which is its foundation. It is also necessary to calculate the elements in the places where the floors and ceiling meet the walls. Do not forget about the floor supports and roof covering... In any project, one of important points is a list of communications that will be brought to the house. To ensure a comfortable living environment, you can install running water, electricity and gas. All these points need to be painted, including the allocation of places for connecting to the highways.
When it is necessary to build a dwelling inexpensively and quickly, then many owners of summer cottages make their choice in favor of panel structures... Their main advantage is that such a structure can be erected in a short time... Remember that budget garden houses are not recommended for low-lying areas. There, after the rains, a lot of moisture accumulates, which provokes the process of decay. Therefore, to place a dwelling, it is best to choose the highest place on your site. The best option is the north or northwest side of the site.
So that the building site is not heavily shaded, it is important to locate the house not at the very border of the site, but at a distance of 3 m from the fence. If it is a one-story building, then you should provide an attic, which should be roomy enough, as well as a veranda that you can use for relaxation.
Attic in winter time will become a repository for garden tools. You can also place other important things there. If you plan to have two floors, then in this case a room on the first floor is allocated for the kitchen. In this case, the room should be light. To do this, they make in the kitchen big windows... Next comes the heated room, where the installation of the stairs leading to the second floor is usually carried out.
You should also think about the insulation of the bedroom. There should also be a guest room and a bathroom. An attic in a two-story building can be used for:
There you can also arrange a place for growing seedlings.
Of course, the number of rooms and their purpose is largely determined by the preferences of the site owner. If you do not have enough of your own imagination, you can look on the Internet. Everyone can find inexpensive options.
The planned building in the country is best done with a veranda. This extension will do you a lot of good. She can be open or closed type ... The second option is more efficient. Thanks to the roof overhead, you will be well protected from rain, wind and sun. By installing mosquito nets on the windows, you can use the veranda as a summer bedroom.
Planning in your home basement, you should make sure that there are no superficial groundwater... In the spring, their level usually rises, they fall into the basement, causing bad smell that will stand throughout the house. In addition, under the influence of moisture, the foundation will gradually collapse, and you will need to carry out repairs.
If you want to save money, you can build a 3 × 4 garden house. In order for you to succeed, you need to prepare in advance quality materials and all necessary tool... All this must be chosen, I am guided by the fact what kind of house did you decide to build - panel or timber... Garden houses from a bar will last longer, but their construction will require the creation of a very powerful foundation, which must lie quite deep.
Shield structures on summer cottage is a choice for people who want to get an inexpensive home in a short time. For its sheathing, plywood sheets are usually used. In four days, a solid house will appear on your site for living in comfortable conditions.
Shield house must be erected in accordance with the construction plan. The first operation should be the construction of the foundation. After that, you can go to the frame device. Later preparation of the upper and lower cladding in progress, rafters and vertical supports are being erected. Additional bars used to form an outline for doors and windows. Using self-tapping screws, the outer skin of the frame is fixed with plywood. When performing work on interior cladding use drywall, chipboard or fiberboard.
To insulate a home, mineral wool or other modern insulation can be laid between two layers of cladding. Alternatively, you can use materials at hand. For example, sawdust, which retains heat well. Thick boards can be used to create the subfloor, and linoleum or laminate for the final floor. Sheathing of rafters is performed using plywood, which is then covered with roofing felt or drying oil.
In order for the erected house to look attractive, it is necessary to use a high-quality and beautiful outer material... An excellent choice would be clapboard or siding panels. In a finished country dwelling, you can install both wooden and plastic windows ... It all depends on the financial capabilities of the owner, as well as his personal preferences. However, it must be remembered that plastic lasts a longer time and, moreover, requires minimal maintenance compared to wood windows.
Garden houses made of timber, although it takes longer to build, have a more aesthetic appearance in comparison with panel houses. For them, you can use a simple or profiled beam.
Work begins with pouring the foundation. If you are building a small house, then a columnar base will be enough. If the structure is heavy, then there is no alternative here - you will have to fill in the strip foundation. Quite often, the base device is used concrete plates, which are buried 20 cm into the ground. The finished base must be covered with a waterproofing layer. For this, the slab is covered with a layer of roofing material. Only after that you can work on the installation of the frame.
The lags and the crown should be laid on the foundation supports. For the device of the floor, boards of great thickness are used. After it is assembled, need to start creating walls... You can use pins to attach the bars to each other. Each new layer must be laid with insulation - tow or jute. When the walls are erected, you can proceed to the installation of rafters and braces from a bar. Having completed this work, proceed to the installation of windows and doors. What will be the interior of the garden house, largely depends on the imagination of the owner of the suburban area. Suburban area should be taken as a resting place. It's up to you to decide what it will be.
As you can see, a 3 × 4 garden house with your own hands is not a dream, but a reality. Do not be afraid of self-erecting a building. DIY mini-houses are quite simple to create, even if you have no experience. If you want to create houses as quickly and easily as possible, choose the panel board option.

Beautiful garden house
Consider several interesting ideas for building a garden house:
Small houses in the garden
Consider the projects and stages of construction of such a structure with our own hands in the country, like a frame house.
A frame house with an area of approximately 8 square meters, the construction of which is possible with your own hands, with a minimum of financial investment and effort, can offer you a small kitchen and a place for a bedroom for about 4 family members, if you correctly create the interior of such a universal structure for your personal plot. And such a structure after some time will be a favorite vacation spot for all members of your family.
How can you create elementary coziness in the garden if you do not have one in your country house yet? country house? The construction of garden houses without assistance, with your own hands, with an area of about 14 and 16 square meters can help in solving this problem. Believe it or not, such a small area can accommodate several functional and useful rooms at the same time - this is a bedroom, a kitchen and a bathroom.
Lodging house
Main method effective application the entire territory of the garden building is maximum use its height. The space for the bedroom, which is allotted approximately 2 by 2 meters, can be located in the attic under the very roof of our building on a personal plot. Ceilings are usually made only over this half of the building, which you decide to make with your own hands from scrap materials. The dormitory with an area of 7 square meters contains dinner table that can be folded, and another place to sleep like a folding chair. However, if there is a need for this, then a folding sofa can be placed in a small building.
The ladder, which is a corridor for raising one more floor of our building, can be removed to the wall near the window during the daytime. In order for the ladder to be in a more stable position, it must be fixed in special slots in a narrow shelf, which is located above the window area.
V small kitchen, which is approximately 3 square meters, can accommodate the following:
Such a miniature building is as practical and efficient as possible. In it, you can use every centimeter of free space and fit everything. If you want to add a little comfort, then add a small shelf to the interior of the small size, on which you can store dishes and other small interior tricks.
Buying a summer cottage is a joyful event in the life of every person. And it's good if a solid house is already present on the site. However, even in the absence of a residential building, you can easily solve this problem by doing the work on the construction of the house with your own hands. It doesn't have to be a lot of money. There are interesting projects country houses, allowing you to build full-fledged residential buildings with your own hands from available materials.
The simplest country house can be built from logs, cement and sawdust. Even these basic materials make it possible to build a beautiful, reliable and warm structure. Moreover, such a house will be completely environmentally friendly and safe for human health. Instead of cement, you can use a mixture of clay, straw and sand.
Make a foundation. The structure will weigh quite little, so the simplest strip foundation or the columnar foundation, which is more preferable in such situations, will do.
Prepare the base for the house. For the bottom strapping, it is recommended to use the best quality timber possible. Before laying the timber, you need to lay a reliable waterproofing on the foundation. Also, the lower trim bar must be waterproofed from above.
For additional rigidity, the strapping beam should be braided with wire. Load-bearing walls houses are made of wooden posts. At the exit, you should have a stable frame structure.
Lay rollers of cement or clay-sand mortar on top of the waterproofing of the lower trim. Fill in the gaps between these rollers with sawdust and start laying out the firewood. It is recommended to impregnate the wood with an antiseptic composition before laying it.
Take a rounded knife and use it to spread the solution between the stacked wood. Over time, the wood will dry out and you will need to fill the gaps with mortar as they appear.
Lay the walls out of wood in layers. We laid a layer - covered all the available gaps with sawdust - laid a new layer and so on to the end. As a result, you will have already insulated walls.
Sand the edges of the wood with sandpaper. Any kind of burrs will additionally retain moisture, so you need to get rid of them especially carefully.
In the end, you just have to fold the simplest rafter system and install the selected roofing material. Give priority to lightweight materials. For example, bitumen is well suited for the roof of such a house.
From the inside, the walls can be plastered, sheathed with clapboard or trimmed at your discretion. Outside, the walls are usually left unchanged. In any case, carry out finishing recommended not earlier than in 1-2 years, because during this time the wood will shrink. You will have to fill in all the gaps that appear with the materials mentioned earlier.
The simplest house-hut can be built with minimal financial investment.
First stage. Make a standard pile foundation and tie it with precast beams.
Second phase. Install the floor beams of the house. The basis of such a structure is represented by rafters in the form of the letter "A". The rafters are installed on a pre-insulated floor. If the house will have a large height, the elements are spliced. rafter system in height.
Stage three. Sheathe the outside of the walls of the house with OSB.
Stage four. Stretch wind and moisture protection material such as isospan onto the sheathed walls.
Fifth stage. Sheathe the roof slopes with the familiar OBS. Such sheathing will be a good basis for roll roofing material. If you wish, you can equip a standard crate on the roof and use other finishing materials - profiled sheet, metal tiles, etc.
Before laying the finishing roofing material, the roof must be insulated. Usually used for insulation mineral wool... In the process of performing these works, do not forget about the need to create ventilation gaps. For their organization, a counter-lattice is equipped - it is enough to nail the transverse slats to the elements of the lathing to get a small gap.
Install below the roof ventilation grates which will allow air to circulate normally in the under-roof space.
A house made of earth is one of the most ancient types of residential buildings known to mankind. Subject to the technology from ordinary land, you can get a solid, fire-resistant and warm enough building that does not require almost any financial investment for its construction.
Prepare the foundation for your future home. In parallel with this, prepare the main building material for the construction of the house in question - bags filled with rammed earth. For the foundation, dig trenches with a depth of about 50-60 cm. Choose the width individually - it should correspond to the width of the bags with earth.
Fill the prepared trenches with gravel. The backfill must be carefully compacted. Cover the entire area under the future earthen house with about a 20-centimeter layer of gravel.
Place a waterproofing material on the backfill.
Draw the circles of the future walls using a construction compass. It is desirable that the house has exactly a round shape. Of course, you can build an ordinary rectangular building from bags of earth, but exactly round walls are characterized by the highest strength.
Lay the first layer of pre-prepared bags on top of the previously installed waterproofing material. The mixture in these bags should include soil, sand, cement powder and gravel.
Fill the bags to about 80-85% of their volume and tamp as thoroughly as possible. Each bag used should be rectangular, like a brick. For better compaction, the mixture in the bag should be slightly moistened with water. Sew up the valves of the bags with ordinary wire.
Be especially careful when arranging the first row of bags. Everything must be done in strict accordance with the previously applied markings. Tamp the bags and dampen them a little with water.
Place 2 rows of barbed wire on top of the first layer of masonry. In this case, the barbed wire will take over the functions of the reinforcing layer. Immediately seal all punctures and breaks in the bags with gray adhesive tape. It is water-resistant tapes.
Start laying out the walls. Door frames and window frames install immediately. Lay each row of soil bags with a double layer of barbed wire. Additionally, you can secure the wire with staples.
Fill the seams between the individual bags with a mixture of sand, cement, chopped straw and lime.
The bags should be laid out with some joint offset, much like in traditional brickwork.
Having reached the height of a person's growth, you can begin to shift each row of the laid material to increase the strength of the walls being erected.
The laid walls are plastered. Before applying the plaster, the bags should be treated with cement laitance and allowed to dry. Plastering is carried out on a steel paint grid.
In the places where the walls adjoin, perform additional reinforcement with the same barbed wire.
The interior decoration of an earthen house is usually limited to simple plastering.
In the end, it remains to equip the roof of the earthen house. Install the beam supports first - they need to be firmly clamped between the bags. Sheathe the floors with OSB boards, and lay the finishing material on top. The best coating option for this case is bitumen.
After completing all the basic work, you can cover the walls of your earthen house with finishing plaster or paint.
If desired, even an ordinary change house can be converted into a completely comfortable country house.
First stage. Prepare the ribbon concrete foundation... The use of a columnar foundation is also allowed, but first you need to make sure that the soil on the ground is not subject to strong frost heaving.
Second phase. Allow the concrete of the base to gain at least half the strength of the brand, and then install the change house on the foundation. The crane will help you with this. Adjust the position of the change house using the boards. Pre-treat the boards with an antiseptic and place them under the runners of the building.
Stage three. Assemble the frame of the extension to the change house. To do this, use a beam of 10x5 cm. Install supports on the veranda and triple the horizontal runs under the rafters.
Stage four. Sew a crate for siding or other selected material on the outside of the walls of the change house. For additional insulation, place mineral wool in the crate and cover it with plastic wrap.
Insulate the floor and walls of the extension. From the inside, the insulation must be covered with a vapor barrier material.
Fifth stage. Complete the outer cladding of the house. It is more convenient and rational to use vinyl siding for this.
Sixth stage. Lay out the roof. Metal tiles are best combined with siding. Otherwise, when choosing topcoat focus on your preferences and financial capabilities.
Seventh stage. Attach the snow guards to the roof slopes. Insulate the attic at will.
Eighth stage. Execute interior decoration house. For example, walls can be sheathed with plasterboard, covered with a couple of layers of putty and painted. Level the floors and install your preferred flooring.
As a result, the old shed after the addition of an additional room and simple finishing works turns into a very comfortable house with a separate bedroom and a large living room-kitchen.
Thus, a wide variety of materials can be used for the construction of country houses. Craftsmen have adapted for such work almost everything that is found in nature, and even straw!
Now you know how to build from affordable and inexpensive materials, and you can build a reliable, safe and comfortable house on your summer cottage.
Happy work!
Lovers of nature and country life who did not manage to acquire at least a 6 by 6 frame garden house ,
but having land plot, usually dream of at least some kind of refuge in their domain. Home making with my own hands frightens most of the citizens. And in vain. Today you can find a lot of information about step by step construction, from experienced craftsmen... She will not only give confidence, relieving anxiety and fear. Using the recommendations of professionals, you can carry out all the necessary manipulations competently and in the prescribed order, significantly saving on hiring a work team.
It is, of course, not a bad thing to use the services of specialists. They guarantee (most often) quality, besides, the terms will be noticeably reduced construction works... But if the budget is limited and you want, or you want to try yourself in such an interesting business, nothing prevents you from rolling up your sleeves and building a garden house cheaply. An additional bonus - for oneself, everything is usually done exactly as it seems and dreams. Sometimes it is difficult for hired workers to explain their vision.
Then the walls are assembled from the timber, fastening the joints with pins. Between the crowns is laid. In general, insulation is desirable for each next layer. For an economy class home, a tourniquet or tow is usually used. Further work begins on.
For rafters, a board is used with a section of 150x25 or 100x50 mm. You will also need roofing material with glassine. To facilitate the task, racks measuring one and a half meters are placed in the center of the building, and a bar is already attached to them. They are located on the resulting structure.
Roofing a one-story garden house with a frame can only take one day. The type of specific roofing material is selected individually, according to your own capabilities and taste. Do not forget about the peculiarities of the climate of the area where the future homeowner lives. Sheets of common galvanized iron are often used.
Using glassine The finished frame is necessarily covered with glassine, and only the selected finishing material is mounted on it. It can be different according to the budget and preferences of the owner. Looks great, which is attached with self-tapping screws.
One-story frame garden houses, finished from the outside, look attractive wooden clapboard or . Both wooden and plastic windows are well suited to the resulting structure. Doors made of wood or imitation of this material will naturally look. indoor can also be covered. And you can sheathe them with drywall, which is then covered with paint or pasted over with wallpaper. The floor is made of planks.
Neat frame garden house , performed by their caring hands, easy to use for permanent or temporary residence. It is roomy enough for storing tools and household utensils.
It has enough space to receive and accommodate guests. And if in the future it is planned to build a grandiose structure, then it can become a place of residence and base for an entire construction team.
A small garden house 4x6 with your own hands, without the involvement of workers, is not so difficult to build. The main thing is a responsible attitude to construction, attention and patience. And, of course, strict adherence to recommendations and compliance with requirements. And very soon your land plot will be transformed, and will take on the appearance of a real home ownership.
The need to build a compact house may arise for various reasons. For example, such a small structure is perfect for placement in a summer cottage that is not used for permanent residence... In the small house you can change comfortably, put your things and spend the night.
Of course, ready-made cabins are sold on the market, but the quality of their performance often leaves much to be desired, and the cost is definitely overpriced. For the same money, you can build a great little house on your own.
Nothing complicated about self-construction there is no compact design. Follow the guide and everything will work out for sure.
Any construction should begin with planning, without which the construction will take much more time, money and effort. There is a chance that a finished structure, built without a plan, will not meet your needs and expectations.
For a small house, it is not necessary to draw up detailed documentation with many drawings. Even a simple sketch indicating the main dimensions, communications and other design features will be enough.
Think in advance about the order of the internal organization of the future small house. Will he have only one room, or will there be enough space for arranging a small kitchen and a small bathroom? In this moment, focus on your personal preferences and capabilities.
For example, many prudent owners use a very interesting technique: they raise the ceiling and equip a sleeping place in the attic. This solution allows you to significantly save usable space.
It is recommended to pay special attention to the experience of the Japanese. Even on a few square meters, they manage to place everything they need to create a comfortable and cozy environment, because even a mini house is still a house, which is definitely more convenient than on the street.
This guide will give instructions on how to build a fairly simple little house. Approximately 75% of the space will be occupied by living quarters, and the remaining space will be spent on placing a pantry and a dry closet.
If everything is very difficult with free space, you can make separate entrances to the mentioned premises from the street. In the event that such problems with free space no, and you do not want to constantly go out, equip the entrance to the technical room from the living quarters.
Make your changes to the plan, if desired. For example, instead of a pantry, you can equip a mini-kitchen with a table, a pair of folding chairs or small stools and a compact stove.
After approval of the plan, proceed directly to the implementation of construction activities. Start by setting up your foundation.
For the construction of a small house, the simplest foundation of blocks is perfect. Very interesting solution came up with Western private developers. They create foundation block with four channels. A reinforcing bar is introduced into each of these channels. The rods themselves are driven into the ground. As a result, the block is securely anchored to the ground.
In the project under consideration, the foundation will consist of six such blocks. You will place four blocks in the corners of the future building, the remaining two - under the internal partition.
You can make the blocks yourself from concrete or buy them ready-made.
Dig a hole 200 mm deep with sides corresponding to the dimensions of the blocks.
Fill the hole with a 20 cm layer of sand and gravel. Tamp the pillow well.
Install blocks and insert fittings according to previous recommendations.
Cover the blocks with a layer of roofing material.
Make sure that the blocks are installed evenly and proceed with the implementation of further planned activities.
Fit the lower trim. Make it from a bar with a section of 15x15 cm. To connect the harness beams, use a convenient mounting option. You can, for example, connect them using the thorn-and-groove method with additional reinforcement with glue and bolts.
Lay a platform previously assembled from a 15x5 cm board on top of the harness.
Sew up the platform with plywood.
Turn the resulting box over and put insulation in it.
Sew up the insulation with a double layer of plywood. Lay plywood with a thickness of 1.2 cm along the box, and across - with a thickness of 0.9 cm. As a result, the floor will have a thickness of 2.1 cm. Use PVA glue to fasten the plywood layers.
Sew up the platform with roofing felt on all sides.
On this the floor is ready. If you wish, you can additionally finish it with another material to your taste.
Linoleum is perfect for finishing the floor.
Treat the timber and boards intended for the construction of walls with an antiseptic.
Assemble the frame of the planned dimensions.
Equip the top harness.
Sheathe the entire structure with plywood.
Attach a windscreen to the outside of the walls. At the same time, this material will act as waterproofing.
In the process of building walls, do not forget to leave openings for the installation of doors and double-glazed windows.
The roof structure must be such that in the future, when opening the door, the overhang of the roof does not touch. To comply with this rule, the slope of the roof slope must be 25 degrees.
Install the rafters. To do this, use boards 10x5 cm. For fixing the boards, use corners and self-tapping screws.
Mount the roof ridge. To make it, use a 15x5 cm board.
Additionally fasten the roof rafters with 10x2.5 cm ties.
Attach 0.9 cm plywood to the rafters.
Lay on top of the finished subfloor the preferred roofing material... Good fit flexible shingles... It is a relatively light material with good operational properties... At the same time, the roof of a small house will have a small area, so you will not spend a lot of money on finishing material.
To create a healthy indoor climate, even if it is very small, you need to install windows. It is better to provide places for placing double-glazed windows even at the stage of assembling the frame.
To determine the optimal total window area, divide the floor area of your small house by 5. Divide the resulting value by the number of windows you need.
If you plan to equip your small house with a bathroom and a kitchen, think over the order of furniture placement in advance so that the windows do not interfere with the normal use of the house in the future, but are a useful addition.
If possible, windows should be positioned in a southeastern direction, since there is very little sunlight on the north side, and low western sun rays are bad for the eyes.
You can buy the doors ready-made, or you can make them yourself. It is enough to assemble the frame, fill the voids with thermal insulation (mineral wool is perfect), sheathe the frame with plywood and upholstery with the desired material.
Proceed to exterior decoration walls.
Proceed with interior decoration.
This completes the wall decoration. After that, it is recommended to do the arrangement of the ceiling and make the porch to your taste. It is better to perform these activities before starting the arrangement of the roof structure.
Make the furnishings and technical equipment of the small house to your taste.
On the attic you can lay the boards. At this point, focus on the specifics of your specific situation, taking into account how exactly you will use your attic.
If necessary, bring electrical wiring, sewerage and water supply into the house.
For heating a small house, both an electric heater and a gas convector are well suited. As fuel, similar gas convectors use liquefied gas... To ensure the most efficient heat distribution, the system should be equipped with a galvanized steel reflector.
The gas convector must be equipped with a chimney. The chimney is carefully insulated to prevent fires. To protect the chimney from snow, rain and various debris, install a special protective visor on its street end.
On this, the small country house is ready. You did an excellent job without involving outside specialists for this, which allowed you to save a significant amount of money, and made sure that there is nothing difficult in the construction of such structures - you just need to follow the guide in everything and adhere to the advice of professional builders. You can start using your own house built.
Happy work!
